Monkey Toes!



Ellison and Daddy's Monkeys Toes!

7 Months old!

Ellison Grace you are 7 months old! (3-3-2011)





You are "talking" all the time. You are wearing size two diapers YEAH!!!! You are wearing 6 months cloths and some 9 months. You are a very tall girl. You get that from your Daddy.


You are having milk 4 times a day every 4 hours. You have baby food 3 times a day. You are loving almost everything that we give you.




You have really started to play with all your toys. When you get a new toy we show you how to play with it once and then you catch on and know just what to do right away.



You are loving bath time a lot still, which makes us very happy.



You do not like it if Mommy or Daddy walk out of the room and you cant see us.




You have two teeth on the top! They look so cute in your little mouth.

SPLASH!!!

She loves to take the wash cloth put it in the water and then suck all the water out.



Ellison loves to be in the tub!




She loves her letters and numbers from Nana and Papa!



She has graduated to the big tub, because she splashes to much!



I think she would stay in the tub all night if we let her. I am excited for this summer to see how she likes her little pool.

Coupons!

Since Ellison was born I am not using coupons like I use to for everyday items. But....

I do keep my eye out for formula,baby food, diapers and wipes. These are things that I really don't like to pay full price for and I am happy to say that I have not since Ellison was born. I was given a great tip from my cousin before Ellison was born. She told me to start to buy diapers and wipes before the baby comes.




This was great advice I was getting coupons and saving them before Ellison was here which meant I had a good amount before she arrived. Now I always have enough and I am just keeping stocking up. I buy bigger sizes that I know I will need in the feature. I love to look at my stock pile of diapers and wipes!




I watched TLC's extreme couponing last nigh and it just blows my mind at the money you can save by just watching sales and using coupons.

Do you use coupons???

I would love to know some of the good deals others can get using coupons. If you dont use coupons for baby things and would like to send them my way I would love it!

Spring is coming....I hope!

We have had a busy few weeks around here. We have been doing little things around the house getting ready for spring. My parents came over and helped do little odds and ends. We got a new dinning room table and chairs, they look great! We hung a bunch of things on the walls. I love having new things around the house.

Ellison is also getting use to wearing her "crown"/helmet. She has to wear it 23 hours a day. We take it off right before her bath and then put it back on when she is ready for bed. This past week also started doing Occupational Therapy. We will be going once a week for an hour. Then they give us homework to work on each week. While we are there we also get adjustments made on her helmet. Josh and I think this is harder on us then Ellison. I figured out how to attach her hair bows and flowers. We get lots of comments on how cute it is.



Ellison is not a big fan of Tummy time so she just rolls over.


Ellison all ready for bed in her fuzzy PJ's


Ellison had a play date with her friend William. They were both checking out his new mobile. Ellison is 4 months older than William.


Ellison has started to wave Hi and Bye. When people walk in and out of the rooms she will wave. It is so cute!


I found this cute hat at Gap the other day it was 97 cents so I just had to buy it.
